Anthony Ramos, who created the roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton in the original cast of Broadway's Hamilton, plays Usnavi in the Broadway Center Stage production of In the Heights beginning March 21 at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Lin-Manuel Miranda and Quiara Alegría Hudes' acclaimed Washington Heights–set musical, directed and choreographed by Stephanie Klemons, is presented in semi-staged concerts through March 25 in the Eisenhower Theater.

Ramos replaced the previously announced Joshua Grosso, who withdrew from the musical due to a minor foot injury.

In the Heights, which opened on Broadway in March 2008, earned Tony Awards for Best Musical and Best Original Score, as well as Best Choreography (Andy Blankenbuehler) and Best Orchestrations (Alex Lacamoire and Bill Sherman).
